(ANS – Turin) – On the 1st and 2nd of June, the General Assembly of Don Bosco Network gathered in Valdocco for its bi-annual meeting. The representatives of the different Salesian NGOs and Mission Offices active in development cooperation flew in from Europe, New York, and India. “For the first time after the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, we were able to gather all representatives. We were also very pleased to welcome Fr. Alfred Maravilla and Br. Jean-Paul Muller as guests at our meetings, even though their schedules were already very busy with the summer session of the General Council. It shows as well the importance of DBN for the congregation,” states Fonny Grootjans, Network Coordinator.
(ANS - Turin) - A traditional, yet profoundly new appointment: this is the semi-annual gathering of the Congregation's General Council, which officially began last Wednesday afternoon, June 1, 2022, and will extend until Tuesday, July 26. What makes this summer plenary session of the General Council special is that it is taking place at the Salesian Motherhouse in Valdocco, due to the ongoing renovations at the Salesian headquarters in Rome.
